6561/6400: Difference between revisions
Dave Keenan (talk | contribs) →Sagittal notation: Changed "simplest ratio" to "simplest interval". Changed colons to slashes and dash. Gave the truly-simplest (2,3-free) interval in addition to the octave-reduced interval. Replaced hair-space with nbhsp template call. |

In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \\! }} and is called the '''25 small diesis''', or '''25S''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 25/1 = 5×5 (equiv. 25/16), as for example in E{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | b }}-B{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | \\! }}. The upward version is called '''1/25S''' or '''25S up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| //| }}. | In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \\! }} and is called the '''25 small diesis''', or '''25S''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 25/1 = 5×5 (equiv. 25/16), as for example in E{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | b }}-B{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | \\! }}.
